Ryan Giggs had some choice words for Anthony Martial after the Frenchman’s performance in the 1-1 Everton draw.
Mason Greenwood came off the bench to save a point for the Red Devils when the starting number nine was mostly absent during the Old Trafford tie.
“He is talented, and he’s not a bad kid, but the problem he has is that he looks lethargic all the time. He looks casual, as if he’s not bothered,” Giggs told Premier League Productions (via Metro ).
“When it comes off, and he’s doing brilliant things, you say it just comes naturally. But when it’s not, you think: he’s not running, he’s not trying, he’s not working hard enough, he’s not holding the ball up.
“So in my eyes he has to try extra hard because of his persona, because of the way that he moves. But he doesn’t look like he breaks sweat and when United are chasing a game you want someone to get across the front post – you might not score, but your team-mate might score.
“It’s all these sort of things that you’re not getting off him at the moment. With Mason [Greenwood] coming on and doing that, getting in positions to score goals, he [Martial] is going to be under pressure, because he’s not giving you anything defensively and he’s not giving you anything offensively either.”
